[MECHANIZED]

I'd be very interested to see other forum members' responses!


prey:
gun(s)/caliber(s):
number of rounds you take on a hunt:

[salukipv1]

2 guns, 1 to hunt with, 1 backup, 2 boxes of ammo for each.

[skybuster20ga]

a week long hunt. 2 rifles one box for each

[huntnteen]

I take at least one extra gun to stay in the truck. For most my hunting the ammo is interchangeable(shotguns) LAst year i had to run back to the truck after learning my firing pin was busted on my shotgun... for deer there is a extra rifle with a box of ammo in the truck

[HEAD0001]

Deer-Single shot rifle in 30-06, 45/70, or 45 Colt. # of rounds---3 or 4 in my pocket, plus 3 or 4 gallery rounds for small game. Tom.

Deer,my main rifle + a back up 'cause you never know what might happen.Ammo i usually keep about 10 rounds on me and another box in the truck.Small game basicly the same set up.Got 2 of the 50 round nylon cases for shot gun shells.depending on rabbits or birds one box will have one size shot the other will have different in case conditions change.

[GRIZZLYMAN]

Two rifles with two boxes of ammo for each.

[Rootsy]

2 rifles, 1 revolver, 1 carry weapon, 10 rounds for each rifle, 2 speed loaders for the revolver and one magazine for my carry weapon. 1 week in length 600 miles from my reloading bench...

[RugerM77.270]

When I am deer hunting I have 1 rifle with 9 rounds on the stock.

[driftrider]

I hunt deer with a muzzleloader most of the time, and I only need one round (but I generally carry 4 reloads just in case). When I hunt with a rifle, I carry a full magazine (3-4 rounds), plus one more magazine worth in my pocket. But again, I've only ever needed one shot. The couple times I missed, having the reloads would have made no difference.

When I hunt small game I'll either carry my shotgun with a full load of appropriate shells in the gun (5 rounds), plus 10 more in my pockets, or my 10/22 with a full mag (10 rounds) plus an extra box in my pocket (40-50 shots).
